marilynrsmithquilts Susan's Grandmother's Love Ring - My best friend asked me to help her make a quilt for her first grandchild. The mother to be chose the pattern(which I had to reduce 60% to make a small quilt) and the fabrics. My friend and her mother cut out the pieces.....almost 1000 of them, and I did the sewing. My friend did the ironing and she brought wine, so it was quite a fun time. We worked on it one afternoon a week for 2 months. The pattern is from McCall's Quilting Magazine and is called Grandmother's Love Ring. I free motion machine quilted with a small amount of echo quilting and what I call "headbands". It turned out beautifully and the shower for its debut is June 5. Such fun. With some of the leftover fabric we got together one afternoon and made a patchwork bear to go with it.
